FORMER government minister and ex-FIFA vice president Jack Warner is demanding a full retraction, apology, and compensation from former prime minister, political leader of the People’s National Movement Dr Keith Rowley, for statements at a political meeting on April 16.

Warner’s legal team issued a pre-action protocol letter on April 22, alleging that Dr Rowley’s statements falsely accused the former minister of being an “international scamp,” evading justice, and having been convicted and involved in financial misconduct.

According to the letter, Warner contends that these assertions are entirely untrue and defamatory, pointing out that he has never been convicted of a crime, has not avoided court proceedings, and has not lost any legal case involving the Centre of Excellence.
